                <output class="text-center text-white" style="display: block;" id="OutputIdGreen">127</output>
            </div>
            <div class="col-md-4 col-lg-4 p-5">
                <p class="text-center text-white">BLUE</p>
                <input type="range" class="form-range" min="0" max="255" step="1" id="customRange3" oninput='OutputIdBlue.value = customRange3.value' onchange="changebackground()">
                <output class="text-center text-white" style="display: block;" id="OutputIdBlue">127</output>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>

    <script>

        function changebackground(){
            document.getElementById('result').style.backgroundColor = 'rgb(' + document.getElementById("OutputIdRed").value + ',' + document.getElementById("OutputIdGreen").value + ',' + document.getElementById("OutputIdBlue").value + ')';
        }
    </script>
</body>

Key Points to learn with this demo

Bootstraps Classes
Display Scroll value without using the javascript.

So If you have checked the code,

<input type="range" class="form-range" min="0" max="255" step="1" id="customRange1" oninput='OutputIdRed.value = customRange1.value' onchange="changebackground()">
<output class="text-center text-white" style="display: block;" id="OutputIdRed">127</output>

So here we are showing the scroll value that user has selected. So for that we have used the oninput field and set the user selected value in the output field.

Conclusion:
Today, We have created a small demo where user can see the actual color based on the RGB values. We have created that demo using the HTML and Bootstrap. Also we have covered the key points that we can learn from this small demo which has developed within the 10 minutes😀. Hope you liked it and learn something new today.

I'm also posting some useful content on twitter. So You guys can follow me there. Link

I assume this was more about using Bootstrap etc. - as it would be far easier to use the built-in HTML colour picker

Thanks for your comment Jon, Yes, correct. It's more like to see how it's change based on the RGB values changes. But for the built-in HTML color picker mostly used the hex values i believe not the rgb one. correct me if i wrong?
